Three GAIN factors are available: x10, x100 or x1k. (4) C-COMP. potentiometer Control for com pensation of stray capaciti es of the m icroelectrode (10 turn potentiometer, range 0-20 pF).
  • Page 9: Headstage

    Very Important: EXT 10C headstages are always labeled “EXT” (see Figure 4) and must not be exchanged with headstages from npi electronic’s desktop EXT amplifiers, e.g. the EXT-2F which is labeled “EXT-02”! Also Important: The shield of the BNC connector of the headstage is connected to driven shield, and must not be connected to ground.
